I do not see an ext/ereg on gcov.php.net .. are the available tests part of regexp?Why move it to PECL? I agree that PCRE is the preferred way but not having ereg() will break a huge amount of applications for very little gain.I tend to agree, unless we provide wrappers via PCRE that emulate ereg functionality I don't think we can remove posix regex until PHP 6.
